Questi saggi affrontano il triplice rapporto tra la natura della scienza, la struttura del progresso e l’essenza della libertà. Il percorso speculativo attraversa la storia della civilizzazione occidentale nella sua interezza, dai sofisti greci al movimento Cypherpunk, passando per l’Atene di Pericle, la Roma repubblicana, l’Inghilterra di Bacone, la Francia di Voltaire, la rivoluzione scientifica moderna, la scuola austriaca di economia e il libertarismo americano. La contesa filosofica sottesa all’opera è la dialettica stato/individuo in tutte le sue declinazioni. Con un’attenzione particolare ai recenti progressi della scienza informatica e alle loro implicazioni sociali, il tema della decentralizzazione si pone come l’inevitabile esito della trattazione. La tesi sostenuta dall’autore è che la decentralizzazione è una conseguenza, non un ostacolo, della centralizzazione: la prima è un prodotto della seconda. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… These essays address the triple relationship between the nature of science, the structure of progress and the essence of freedom. The speculative path crosses the history of Western civilization in its entirety, from the Greek sophists to the Cypherpunk movement, passing through Periclean Athens, Republican Rome, Bacon's England, Voltaire's France, the modern scientific revolution, school Austrian economics and American libertarianism. The philosophical dispute underlying the work is the state/individual dialectic in all its declinations. With particular attention to recent advances in computer science and their social implications, the topic of decentralization arises as the inevitable outcome of the discussion. The thesis supported by the author is that decentralization is a consequence, not an obstacle, of centralization: the former is a product of the latter.]
